After missing 11 games with a sprained ankle, we likely will see Anthony Davis back on the court this week.

He was cleared for contact and had a full practice with the team on Monday. Depending on how he responds, he could play Tuesday against the Washington Wizards or maybe Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, coach Monty Williams said, as reported by the Times-Picayune.

“I’m not sure if he has to take another test today, tomorrow or has already taken it,’’ Williams said. “He’s been cleared for contact and is ramping up his conditioning. He practiced a little bit, but again (we) have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to see how he feels. He has been working with Coach Carlos (Daniel).”

If not those games, the Hornets face the Timberwolves Friday.

The Hornets have missed Davis on both ends of the floor, but particularly the defensive end. They have given up 3.9 more points per 100 possessions in their last 9 games than they did in their first 10. The offense has seen a slight dip, but it can’t make up for what is the worst defense in the NBA.

Davis averaged 16 points on 49.3 percent shooting, plus 8.5 rebounds a game before his injury. He and Portland’s Damian Lillard were starting to separate themselves from the pack early on in the Rookie of the Year discussion, but the injury set Davis back.
